Manchester United teenager James Wilson reminded Louis van Gaal of his huge potential by hitting all four goals in a 4-1 win over rivals Manchester City in the Manchester Senior Cup Final on Thursday night.

Wilson scored twice on his Premier League debut against Hull City last season under interim manager Ryan Giggs but wasn't taken by Van Gaal on the club's recent pre-season tour of America.

But in front of watching City manager Manuel Pellegrini, Wilson turned the Senior Cup final in Hyde on its head with clinical finishing in each half after United had fallen behind.
